IF THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA THEN “HITLER WEARS HERMES”
Westside Gunn. Gritty, Grimy with a Mainstream flow. Fly at its best, WSG is an artist from the streets of Buffalo, NY who’s style has been compared to the likes of early Nas, Raekwon & AZ. Recently having been released from federal prison and seen in the DONDIVA magazine with Sly Green, WestSideGunn came out the cell running. A founding member of the rap crew SE GANG & new founding member of GXFR (Griselda by Fashion Rebels), he showcases his skillfully selected bars, braggadocios flow mixed with 90's underground boom bap making him a radio ready icon amongst fashion lovers, HipHop heads & dope dealers across the land. Westside Gunn's money talking bravado ironically paints the picture of an artist that still makes music for the respect and looks willing to see where the chips may lay without sacrificing the art. To put it in simpler terms, WSG looks to be someone that you’ll be talking about for a very longtime. A "street backpacker” is what he likes to call himself & once you hear his music you’ll know why these words hold true.
